EA DICE Addressed DLC Issues With 'Star Wars Battlefront 3' Release Date! Teased Fans On What To Expect About The Upcoming Game

There have been reports that contents are going to be hold off following "Star Wars Battlefront 3" release date.

Reportedly, the contents are going to be available for the DLC, but EA DICE quickly addressed such claims saying that there is actually no truth to it.

"I cannot stress this enough; there will be more than 8 maps!" Producer Jesper Nielsen said during a Reddit AMA.

Also, the amount of content in the game has absolutely zero to do with DLC. I can say that with all honesty.

As for expanding on strengths of the previous games; I think most people will find that it does expand on the strengths of the previous games, when it comes to core gameplay and what the feeling of a Battlefront game is. Just my two cents."

And if his explanation was not good enough, he further insisted that EA DICE is not going to hold off any contents following "Star Wars Battlefront 3" release date.

"No. Please don't make me break what I can and cannot say, but if you think there's anything we're not including in the game to save it for DLC, I can tell you you're 100% wrong. In this project, I've never heard anyone say 'Let's not do this for launch so we can do it as DLC instead.' Ever."

In other news, Nielsen assured fans that the gaming studio is determined to bring more "Star Wars Battlefront" games in the future as they continue to keep improving on the audio and video quality of the game, which will be apparent in "Star Wars Battlefront 3."

"Continue expanding? You do know that we are not taking the Battlefront 2 code, a now 10 year old game, but building a completely new game from scratch, with even more advanced and higher fidelity sound and graphics?

Doing more isn't always better. Maybe with time. But - and you would know this if you worked with game development - you can't just cram everything into a single game. Or if you try to do, you may likely end up with a mess.

I hope there will be many more Battlefront games, and if DICE continues to work on them, that we'll continue to expand and improve. But this is not, from a development and production perspective, as simple as just taking Battlefront 2 and building upon that."

And while there has been no specif date as to when the game will be released, Christian Post assumed that "Star Wars Battlefront 3" will most likely hit shelves when its movie counterpart "Star Wars Episode 7: The Force Awakens" hit theaters in December this year.
